  • Patent number: 11079463
    Abstract: A method for the determining a position of at least one measurement object equipped with a mobile station having a receiver includes employing at least four reference objects having a base station and a transmitter, wherein a first reference object of the at least four reference objects has a mobile station with a receiver and simultaneously acts as a measurement object. The base station and the mobile station are structurally combined. The reference objects initially have a known position that can change. The transmitters of the base stations transmit signals and the mobile stations receive signals. The method additionally includes emitting, by at least two transmitters of base stations, periodic signals of different frequencies at mutually defined time intervals, wherein these frequencies are closely adjacent.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8301222
    Abstract: Provided is a device for measuring biomedical data from a testee, with a recording system for taking the data and a first hardware component for displaying the data. A device for electrical separation of the data is arranged in a connector line for transmitting the data from the recording system to the first hardware component for displaying the data. At least a duplication of the data for data processing purposes is thus guaranteed. The data processed in said manner are used for a method for real-time stimulation of a testee.

  • Publication number: 20050154424
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for locating the target spot of electrodes used for brain stimulation, particularly deep brain stimulation. The inventive device comprises an isolation amplifier (1) which is provided with at least one electrode (2) and at least one sensor (3). In a preferred embodiment, said device is provided with a control unit (4) which puts the signals of the electrodes (2) and the sensor (3) in relation and controls the input of stimuli via the electrode. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the stimuli are launched in a galvanically decoupled manner by optical means. The inventive device makes it possible to find the target spot for brain-stimulating electrodes in a particularly precise and fast manner according to objectifiable parameters.
